Abstract
This paper is concerned with the interface stresses between an elastic conical-form elastic circular solid cylinder and a conical-form rigid circular hole. We investigate on the order of stress singularity at the corner point of the interface and on the interface stress distributions. A new discretization method is presented for distributed body forces in order to improve numerical results. Influences of the tapered angle of the conical-form cylinder on the order of stress singularity are considered and the results are compared with that for two dimensional problems.
